Since it’s a beta I’ll ignore the performance issues for now, which will hopefully be resolved as other more interesting features are added to make this app stand out. Then I’ll try it, but no thanks for now.

Command-Tab is IMHO the easiest for quickly switching and quitting programs. The two together always go to the last program. Hold down Command, use Tab to toggle multiple programs, press Q while still holding Command to quit the selection, repeat as needed. You can also click on any of the icons with your cursor instead of pressing Tab repeatedly if you prefer…handy when you’re working with a lot at once, and not just quitting them all.

Don’t let all of this make you think I don’t love my Dock, because I do. If my hand is on the mouse already, sometimes I just prefer to just keep clicking. Gotta love having all your go-to programs pinned, and being able to see at a glance what’s running. Having the Applications, Documents and Downloads folders right there sure is nice, although I keep them in list view. Takes up much less space than the grid iOS look. Hold Control>Click Applications>Select Grid under “View content as” to try it.

Of course the above is an incomplete list of features that already exist in the Dock and elsewhere in OS X…but it seems this is what it is trying to replace. Bring o some big ideas.
